Congratulations to our CROP Card Winners this week at RCES!

As we finish up our last full week of classes, we also want to take a moment to show our appreciation for Mr. John Steiger and everything he has done for character education at RCES over the past 5 years. He has dedicated time each and every day to helping our students become the best versions of themselves.

Thank you, Mr. Steiger, for an amazing 5 years. Your impact on our students and school will not be forgotten!

Rawlins County U.S.D. 105 will run hard surface routes this afternoon (May 5th) and all day tomorrow (May 6th).

The 7th grade Kansas History class at Rawlins County Jr High have been learning about what life was like in Kansas during the early times of settlement. They recently have been studying the time period of 1861-1890. During this time period, many settlers headed west in search of new land and opportunities. These settlers were able to purchase land using the Homestead Act, The Preemption Act and the Timber Culture Act. The next step for these new Kansans was to survey the land and plat the selected town sites.
The 7th grade students were able to dive into the Rawlins County Plat Books that have been collected and donated by gracious county citizens. Here, they discovered the different townships, land owners and rural residents of Rawlins County.
The Rawlins County Appraiser's Office has land measurement guides available to the public. These guides are on convenient magnets and Rawlins County Appraiser, Alicia Baumfalk generously gave one to each of the 7th graders. These guides are helpful when learning how settlers first surveyed the land. The students can use this same land measurement knowledge today and in the future.

Parents/Guardians! Please help the Rawlins County PTO by showing appreciation to all of our awesome teaching staff!! Teacher Appreciation Week is May 4-8 and here are some suggested ways to show your appreciation!

Congratulations to the CROP card winners this week at RCES! We are getting close to the end of the year and are working hard on our character every day. This week we focused on INTEGRITY. Nice job Buffs!

This week we're celebrating two groups that make everything else possible at USD 105. Tuesday was School Bus Driver Appreciation Day, shoutout to the drivers who safely deliver our students to school every day. Today is School Lunch Hero Day, shoutout to the food service team serving up meals so every student is fed, fueled, and ready to learn. You can't have a great school without great people behind the scenes. Thank you!

4th grade would like your assistance in raising money for a wildlife sanctuary for the eagles Jackie and Shadow. They have been watching the bald eagle pair on the live camera for the past two years and have grown to really appreciate them and would love to give back. Please help! 🦅
